Ahead of his return to the BKFC ring, Darren Till was involved in a street altercation outside of a pub in his hometown of Liverpool, England.
Till is hoping to continue his good start to life with the BKFC, following his debut knockout win over Bellator and BAMMA veteran Aaron Chalmers. A step up in competition is an understatement for the Scouser, whose second fight with his new promotion sees him compete against a several-time UFC title challenger and Olympic silver medalist Yoel Romero.
The fight is one of the sport’s most anticipated matchups, but Darren Till, eager to return to action, has been making headlines outside the ring. Till was involved in an incident that circulated online earlier this week. The 33-year-old can be seen aggressively confronting the towering 6-foot-5 Lee Browne outside o the Blarney Stone Irish Pub on Renshaw Street in Liverpool.
The situation quickly became heated, with Till sizing up Browne while screaming, “Who’s a sh*thouse? I’m right here now, and you’re saying nothing,” likely referring back to their online feud in the weeks prior. Browne had spent weeks trash-talking the former UFC fighter, calling ‘The Gorilla’ a coward and accusing him of ducking a fight between the two.
Not willing to settle their grudge with words, Darren Till hit Lee Browne with a barrage of punches, sending him crashing to the floor before a crowd of onlookers.

The blade allegedly missed the main artery in his back by millimeters, which was the difference between him escaping the altercation with his life and not.
